Yes, this is a huge security issue. Not only has it not improved, but MS seems content to spend it time rebranding things. Now we have security tags. These tags have the same flaw.

To make matters worse, I have an environment that has Windows 10, Mac OS, IOS, etc. The encryption features that follow a document depend on Azure Information Protection. The client is built into office now.

Unfortunately, the office client does not have the encryption code. After speaking with MS support, the encryption features are in the Windows OS. So security in Azure/O365 is for Windows-only, it isn't real time, and in my opinion is not a serious contender in the security space.

This is very unfortunate to read. Chances are we may have to re-check if we want to stick with O365 or move to something else since we can't rely on their DLP policies when it comes to tagging new sensitive files.

Thank you for letting me know.

  I tried it and I am having trouble. I can still share newly uploaded files even with this feature turned on. I read that this is a feature still on roll out. How would I know if I can now use it or not?
